    It really is. I’ve been using an Nvidia Shield for my living room TV. All of a sudden this week it showed a Lidl ad right there on the homescreen. Those fuckers. Replacement is on its way, fuck Nvidia.

      1. That’s Google, not Nvidia
      2. Just install another launcher like Projectivity

        I had no idea, on both counts: that Google weedled its way in there too, and that a different launcher was even an option. I will look into that, thanks!

      I mean, yes fuck nvidia for sure, but I think those ads are via the googs. They have ramped up lately for sure.

      In either case, I ignore them for now as I click into the jellyfin interface and enjoy my library.

      What did you end up choosing as your replacement?

      I have a TV streaming device that needs replaced and I’ve struggled to decide what to replace it with.

        I was thinking of setting up a NUC, but with the great suggestions here I can hold off on that.

        The ideal setup imo would be a steam machine :D
